Re: 1990 honda civic dx coolant leak/possible engine replacement
Hi,
Call around to a few engine importers in your area. The ZC engines are
almost a dime a dozen cheap. I paid $500Cdn for my sohc ZC. The ZC
engines are from JDM Civic / CRX SiR (japan)
If you plan to get a Fiero. Get a GT model or at least a SE-V6.
